Forensic Accounting

What is Forensic Accounting?

Forensic accounting services generally involve the application of specialized knowledge and investigative skills possessed by CPAs to collect, analyze and evaluate data and evidential matter. Forensic accounting services utilize the CPA’s specialized accounting, auditing, economic, tax, fraud detection and other skills to perform various types of investigations, and to communicate findings in a courtroom or administrative setting. Forensic accounting services include litigation support, bankruptcy support, fraud and special investigations, dispute resolution, among many other services.
